Abstract

Patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease including end-stage kidney disease, and kidney transplant recipients are at increased risk of severe COVID-19 infection, hospitalization and premature death. Both diabetes and CKD exert synergistic effect on increasing the patient’s susceptibility towards risk of COVID-19 infection. The Global Burden of Disease collaboration (GBD) and WHO have declared CKD and diabetes as the most prevalent risk factors for severe COVID-19. Hence, management should focus on both infection prevention and treatment. Several studies and adequate evidence from literature is available on the impact of COVID-19 disease on diabetes alone or CKD alone. However, many data is not available on COVID-19 disease impact on diabetic CKD patients. This short review article focuses on understanding the impact of COVID-19 on diabetic CKD patients and other aspects such as pathophysiology, epidemiology, prevention and management of diabetic CKD patients with COVID-19 infection.
